| | + | {{quotebox-float|The defining [[public]] [[myth]] of [[Donald J. Trump]] has always been that of the unyielding, dominant [[sovereign]]—the master of the boardroom who barks orders, dictates terms, bends [[foreign]] leaders to his will, and answers to no one. |

He did not pull the plug on the targeting feeds. He did not condition the delivery of [[weapon]]s. |
| | + | |
| | + | Instead, he publicly begged his own client state for [[mercy]]...}} |
